There are just few days more before
Christmas and in order to give cur Rock
Island customers good opportunity to
buy their cloaks before that time, we have
decided to deduct l24 per cent. or ! of
the original price of the garment from all
sales of these articles. Our cloaks have
been much cheaper all winter than those
of any other dealer in this section and
this special discount of 124 per cent.
brings the price down to rock bottom.
Our plush cloaks. it is well known,
have been superior not only in quality,
but also in make, fit and finish to those
sold elsewhere. We have the sentiments
of our numerous patrons to justify this
assertion. and the fact that our plush
garments are made by the best factory in
this country Is sufficient proof of our
statement. We shall be glad to see you
here, and our 12a per cent off will easily
pay the hack hire for yourself and
friends. M. ARNOLD.

Superintendent johnson. of the c., B.
& O., was encountered on train between
Rock Island and Meline by Dispatch
reporter Saturday, and he was inter-
viewed on the fly. Mr.. johnson says
that the O. means to have its share of the
business of the three cities to and from
Chicago. The through freight train
which went on today. travelling on the
time heretofore announced, will be the
last freight train loaded in Chicago at
night, and will be late enough to take
much that would otherwise have to come
by express. From Aurora to Barstow, it
will meet no trains on the road, and it is
bound to get in on time. As to the pas
senger business Mr.. johnson did not
think the road would pay great attention
to it this winter. At present only local
trains carry passengers between here and
Chicago, and two changes of cars are nee
essary. But in the spring, he had no
doubt through train of the modern kind
would be put on. and the @. would make
things hum in both the passenger
and freight business to and from
Chicago. In the meantime Mr.
johnson said, the c., B. s. @
offer much better Chicago aceommoda-
tons than heretofore. A passenger may
leave Rock Island at a. m. for Chicago
on the Sterling train, and arrive at Chi
cago via Denrock and Mendoza at 9 p
M, making the trip in five hours anG
forty-five minutes. Coming this way,
the Sterling train arrives at Denrock {
couple of hours too early for the Chicago
train. SO it discharges its passengers
transferring them to the train from tht
north and they arrive here at $40 p. m
two hours and ten minutes after leav
ing Sterling. This allows the tram Il
wait for the train out of Chicago, and I,
convey its passengers to Rock Island, ar
irving here at 6:55 p. m. These passen
gers, said Supt. johnson. may have LEI
Chicago at 1890 or at p. m, as ther
will be a choice OF two trains. Thos
leaving on the / o'clock train make tn
distance in five hours and forty minutes
The fast train on the c., R. l. & P.
which commences its westward runs mex
Sunday, will arrive in Rock Island abou
4 O'Clock IN the morning. 1t shorten

BY Saturday night the last rail in the Bal

be laid, and this city and the new harbor
connected. The management intend run
ming a large excursion to celebrate the
eve mt, and hope to receive by that time the
thirty-ivc new passenger coaches recently
constructed at the company's Topeka shops.
The new town of Nadeau Park has re-
ceived great impetus during the last few
days on account of the carly completion of
this road. Being located right at the juno
ton of the new road and the Southern Pa
ci fic, and five miles from the city plaza, it is
becoming prominent as Il railroad center,
and a number of large manufacturers are
figuring on putting in large plants there.
With twelve passenger and numerous freight
trains daily, this will make an unequalled
location, both for manufacturing and for
residence purposes.
The own RS have just determined 10
grade.all the Streets pipe water to all lots,
and lay cement sidewalks. The future of
adeau Park is.certan to be prosperous.
